The Central Coast area of California is gorgeously relaxing and beautiful. Morro Bay has a 12 mile bay perfect for kayaking, canoeing or sailing small vessels. All are rentable on the embarcadero in addition to bicycles.

Morro Bay is located on the Central Coast about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Boutique shopping is abundant. Dine downtown, on the water or on the Ferry. Within less than 30 mile there is Hearst Castle, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, Montano De Oro National Park, over 40 wineries, and of course a gorgeous stretch of California beaches.

So blessed to have been able to stay at this perfect little beach house! My husband and I were pleasently surprised with the amount of amenities and the thoughtfulness Mr. & Mrs. Souza put into their home. The home is very clean, and is also modernly decorated and furnished. My husband loves to BBQ and the propane grill there was PERFECT! We set it up in the front yard and had ourselves a wonderful time, while enjoying the wonderful coastal weather! The home was perfect in every way and we look forward to many more vacation stays here in the future.

We booked this lovely home again this year for a few weeks of simple relaxation. As always the home was clean and welcoming. We look forward to our next stay, thank you to the owners for keeping this home so nice for guests. Again the perfect location for beach access, a quiet neighborhood, and a comfy bed!

This rental was incredibly equipped and spacious! We were very fond of the unit and would have stayed longer had we not had other plans. Parking was great as it was off road and covered. Location made it easy to get anywhere. Overall, just a delightful experience.

We loved our rental in Morro Bay. It was extremely clean and though there was no a/c, there were fans in all the rooms and it was very comfortable. Our stay was enhanced by all the accessories which the owner had thought of and provided - the kitchen was extremely well-equipped. They also made sure that there were numerous brochures and an information binder which explained all the attractions and surrounding areas. They were interested in making our stay as comfortable as possible and they succeeded. I would not hesitate to recommend this rental to a couple, 2 couples or a family with 2 children.

We went site seeing, hiking, shopping and attended concerts. It was nice to have a clean and comfortable home to come to and the end of the day. Also, having our own kitchen was a great benefit. So, when we didn't eat out we ate at home. The kitchen was equipped well with extras you don't see at most home rentals.

Perfect for our family

October 20, 2014

We come to the central coast a lot, but now that we have 2 kids we wanted a little more space to spread out instead of the typical hotel room. This house did not disappoint! It was super clean and comfortable and great for our kids and us. So nice having the full kitchen to make breakfast and keep snacks on hand. The owners were extremely helpful and kind. The house is close by to a lot of fun places, walking distance to the beach and a short drive to the embarcadero and downtown. Will definitely be back again soon!

Amazing cottage not far from Morro Bay beach

Amazing cottage not far from Morro Bay beach

August 27, 2014

We, a family of for adults living in Cologne (Germany), had an amazing two weeks stay at Morro Bay. The cottage from Zulmira & Sebastian provide everything you need to spend a relaxing vacation trip with self cooking and lodging. Everything is stored at the house - micro wave, dish washer, washing machine, mixer, waffle iron, relaxing beach chairs, big TV flat sreen, freezer and not to forget all these small items that you mostly never will see in a vacation home but that helps you a lot....
It was an exiting experience for all of us, with marvelous weather conditions, humpback whales not far away from the shore, dolphins, seals, sea elephants and sea otters.
You can make a daytrip to Big Sur with sitting in the Big Sur river and walking through the Redwoods. In the opposite side it is also possible to make a shopping trip to the south to Pismo beach outlet mall.
Summarizing we can completely recommend this very fine cottage with their friendly owners.
Thank you for this experience !

My family has rented this property for the past three years. The home is always clean and provides my family with all necessary items needed to have a enjoyable vacation. Also, the owners again notified me when the home was ready for occupancy, which was earlier than the listed occupancy time, and also notified me that we could extend our vacation a few extra hours, past the listed departure time. Overall, a very nice experience and very considerate owners.

My husband and I stayed for a week in this charming cottage. The location, local area and household amenities, the care taken by the owner to ensure we were taken care of before and during our stay and the general charm of the cottage made for an outstanding stay. We walked to the local beach, rode our bicycles into town and beyond for a hike in a state park, drove north of Morro Bay to view an elephant seal rookery, drove south to Pismo Beach to see the monarch butterfly grove and tried several of the local and neighbouring town restaurants and bars. We fell in love with Morro Bay and hope to be able to rent this cottage for a one month stay in the future.

Great value, sweet home

My husband and I spent three nights in this cozy home in Morro Bay. We could even hear the waves at night. Very, very comfortable - plenty of space for two - comfy couches - loved sitting in the front yard (nice neighborhood). Though we didn't cook meals, the kitchen provided everything we would have needed and more. Nice touches everywhere -- beach chairs and sun hats provided. Easy to find; easy to hang out. For below the price of a hotel room, we had privacy, all the luxuries of home and no noisy neighbors. We'll be back!

The house was just as pictured and advertised. It was in a very good location and priced right for the all amenities that it offered. I loved how they had the cabinets stocked with species and Tupperware for leftovers should you decide to cook your own meals. They even had a little bowl of chocolates- nice attention to detail. Everything offered made it feel like a home and not just like a place to sleep.

Morro Bay Beach Stay

Morro Bay Beach Stay

July 14, 2013

We were looking for a safe place to vacation with our little family of 5 and we surely found it. The owners definitely took special care of this place. Everything was very clean and the yard well manicured. We appreciated all the thoughtful touches put into it, such as books, night lights, and movies for the kids to the comforting prayer posted on the wall.
The house itself was comfortable for a family with 3 kids. It was on a very quiet street. The living room and master had nice high ceilings. And not pictured, there is a separate entrance to a "mud room' where you can put dirty laundry and shoes if you came in from the beach. Also very important, the owners were very nice and considerate.
The location was great, just a short walk to the beach. Close by is a market, a park and a new BBQ place that just opened up. We were definitely lucky to find this special place. It made our stay so much more memorable.

Very nice beach house

Very nice beach house

July 5, 2013

This was a very nice, well maintained home. It had all the amenities that we ever could have wanted. They thought of everything so we could have a comfortable stay. The house is small but we knew what we were getting into and what the house lacks in size it definitely makes up in amenities, cleanliness, a few minute drive to the beach, and charm. We had 2 small children and having 2 rooms and a front yard was great for us. We would definitely stay there again if we are looking to visit and will tell our friends and family. The owners were great to work with and it seemed like they wanted us to have a good time. They were also very good with communication as I have has so worse experiences with other rental experiences. All in all if you want a well stocked morro bay rental for a competitive price, go with this one.

We are former residents & gift shop owners of Morro Bay. We love to visit 1-2 times a year but, have always stayed in hotels. We found this lovely little beach cottage this year and had such a wonderful time. We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the cottage, the amenities were perfect it had everything one would need. Both bedrooms had very comfortable beds, the dishwasher & Washer/Dryer were a big plus, the little front yard was great for sitting out in the morning to have coffee, very nice & quiet neighborhood, a nice walk to the beach, and it just so happens that the first home we had in Morro Bay 9 years ago was just one street over. The owners are amazing! Very kind, sweet people!! Thank you so much to the owners for a very cozy, relaxing stay at your cottage. My family and I will definitely be more than happy to rent your wonderful beach cottage again and again for years to come.
Many Blessings,
The Daughtry Family

I didn't get the chance to actually stay at this cottage. However the couple that owns it are extremely honest people. I had planned on staying here during May 2013, however my trip got cancelled at last minute. I had already sent off the money order when I found out the trip would be cancelled. The owners sent me back the money order after I reported that my trip was cancelled. Very honest!

And I look forward to staying here again in the future.

The cottage was more than we expected. It eas clean,well stocked and we lacked for nothing. We stocked the small cooler for lunches and having a "home" to return to each day was wonderful. It was one of the best vacation locations we have had as it allowed ua to fix dinner each night instead of always eating out. We have talked to the owner since we left and will be using their property on our next visit to California.

This was a nice little cottage in a quiet residential neighborhood in Morro Bay. The house is small, but fine for 4 people. It was very clean and well stocked and the landlords were helpful and friendly. The beach is nearby - free parking and beach access just down the road. Easy 15 min drive to San Luis or a few minutes to the little village of Morro Bay. Nice park with a great playground right in the neighborhood - walking distance from the house. Definitely recommended.

Although we didn't spend a lot of time at the house, more at Cal Poly graduation and the beach, it was as good as all the other reviews you've probably read. Clean, quiet, kitchen is as equipped as yours at home or better! Close to the beach and freeway although you hear NO freeway noise. It's so quiet!! Everything looks so new and clean. It's a "come back to " house. Enjoy your stay as we did!

This charming little house is just a great alternative to staying in a standard motel room, for about the same price. It is quiet, private, very clean and well-kept, and centrally located for some great day trips. There's a full kitchen and laundry, and plenty of room for 2-4 people. No view, but for those of us on a budget, you can't beat it.

It had plenty of towels, cooking utensils, blankets, and spices for cooking. The house is a short drive from the beach, located in a quiet neighborhood. This house is a great alternative to a hotel, for about the same price or less than a hotel, you get so much more!
My gf and I will definitely be coming back for another visit.

It was foggy and rather cool most of the time we were there. Otherwise, it was great.

I enjoyed how quiet and cozy the house was and how well it was equipped. The kitchen was perfect. I had no problem making meals and enjoyed the coffee and tea you had provided. We hope to come back to your home again this year.

This is a darling place to stay. Extremely clean, close to everything, peaceful neighbors and the owner wonderful to deal with. The only reason it did not get 5 stars was that it was not right on the beach and there was no ocean view. But the house was equipped with everything and was a great place to stay and I would recommend it to my family and friends and I would stay there again anytime.
